You're right Payton, drinking would only make everything worse.

I think, in recovery, we have to learn how to deal with the stuff of life, and to stay sober, how to manage our emotions and deal with things. It isn't easy. My suggestion is to try focus on one or two positive things that happened during the day. I know sometimes I have to dig deep to find those, but it can help. The best thing I have learned in recovery is that, I have no control over most of what happens in life. I have control over how I react, and that's all. So, try to take a step back and breathe, and you'll get through this.
